Based on official reports, this compendium illustrates how projects funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF), designed and implemented by FAO in close collaboration with national counterparts in Latin America and the Caribbean from 2013 to 2023, are concretely contributing to achieving the objectives of the new Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework of the Convention on Biological Diversity. These projects have been instrumental in addressing critical biodiversity challenges in the region, where biodiversity is rich but threatened. FAO has worked in partnership with local governments, community organizations and other key stakeholders to develop strategies and actions that not only protect biodiversity, but also foster sustainable development and community resilience.In particular, this document focuses on Goal 02: Restore 30 percent of all degraded ecosystems.To this end, ecological restoration strategies, both active -mainly afforestation- and passive -removing disturbing agents-were designed and implemented in Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Uruguay and the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. -

2025Also available in:
Based on official reports, this compendium illustrates how projects funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF), designed and implemented by FAO in close collaboration with national counterparts in Latin America and the Caribbean from 2013 to 2023, are concretely contributing to achieving the goals of the new Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework of the Convention on Biological Diversity. These projects have been essential in addressing critical biodiversity challenges in the region, where biological diversity is rich but threatened. FAO has worked alongside local governments, community organizations, and other key stakeholders to develop strategies and actions that not only protect biodiversity but also promote sustainable development and community resilience. In particular, this document focuses on Target 06 of the Global Biodiversity Framework: Reduce the introduction of invasive exotic species by 50 percent and minimize their impact.Significant progress has been made in managing invasive species in Argentina, thanks to the development of a national strategy, awareness programs, as well as regulations and tools for managing various invasive species. Meanwhile, in the Plurinational State of Bolivia, efforts have contributed to the control of exotic pines and eucalyptus within protected areas. In Chile, a management plan has been implemented to restore environments degraded by the invasion of beavers, alongside the development of information and early warning systems and control schemes. -
